The main thing I would change/add is for #2:
I would rather have a button on the System Generation and Display window. My geo-probe ship design calls for just launching buoys/probes at a selection of the most promising planets in a system, so this is what I am usually looking at to choose planets to survey before I have to go and find them and manually waypoint them on the map. A "Place Waypoint" button on the System Generation window that dropped a waypoint at the selected body would be perfect for me.

FYI:
1) Similar to a POI, a waypoint that disappears once a missile arrives at it.I need to double check this in my new game, but I think normal waypoints actually disappear along with a probe once the probe/buoy has finished surveying.
